Lifting out
See pp.82–83
When the piece was nearly
nished, the artist ne-tuned
the work by lifting out areas
of paint, in order to soften
edges and bring out details
in darker areas.
Linear perspective
See pp.134–137
The lily pads appear larger
in the foreground of the
painting, then gradually
become smaller as they
go further back, creating
a realistic sense of depth.
Dry brush
See pp.56–57
These broken, textured
lines, painted with the dry
brush technique, are both
naturalistic and stylish,
calling to mind traditional
Chinese calligraphy.
Showcase painting
This peaceful, light-lled scene appears lifelike when viewed in its
entirety, but a closer look reveals loose brushstrokes and simple shapes,
layered in perspective to build up a realistic landscape. A wide tonal
range and use of contrasting colors create overall balance.
